The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

hopeful inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

4.0

Linus Baker enjoys his solitary life working as a caseworker for magical youth in orphanages. When Linus is assigned to Marsyas Island Orphanage, he must investigate whether the six orphans there are in good care. For these aren't just any youth - but the most extreme cases, including an actual Antichrist. But as Linus gets to know the children and befriends the mysterious caretaker of the orphanage, he struggles to decide whether he can do his job without letting his personal feelings get in the way.

Everyone has been raving about The House in the Cerulean Sea for years but I was a little iffy. Especially after a failed attempt to read Under the Whispering Door. Yet, Klune's novel deserves all the hype for it is an adorable heartwarming fantasy. From start to finish, The House in the Cerulean Sea will simply enchant you, leaving you with the happiest feelings. For anyone looking for a delightfully wholesome read, this is one book not to miss.
